Katsina State Governor, Dr. Dikko Umaru Radda has announced a special N45,000 Sallah support package for Civil Servants in the state ahead of the upcoming Eid-l-Kabir celebrations.
This initiative aims to alleviate the financial burden on employees under the State Unified Local Government Service and Local Education Authorities during the festive period.
According to a statement released by Governor Radda’s Chief Press Secretary, Ibrahim Kaula Mohammed, the N45,000 package is divided into two parts:
A N30,000 Loan/Advance to be conveniently repaid over three months (July, August, and September) with a manageable monthly instalment of N10,000.
The second part is a N15,000 Sallah Package gifted to each of the state’s civil servants to allow them celebrate Eid-l-Kabir without financial constraints.
Malam Falalu Bawale, the Katsina State Head of Service, applauded the Governor’s thoughtful gesture. He stated that the financial assistance “will undoubtedly bring relief to numerous households, enabling them to fully celebrate the joyous occasion of Eid”.
